Of Light And Shadows: Buddhism, Cinema, And The Question Of Diffused Religion In Modern China, Teng-Kuan Ng

Research Collection College of Integrative Studies

While the scholarship on premodern Chinese Buddhism has explored the tradition’s rich diffusion throughout various realms of sociocultural life, the study of modern Chinese Buddhism leans heavily towards its monastic, institutional, and overtly “religious” forms. This split mirrors the logic of modern secularization, whereby religion should be rationally differentiated from the broader social fabric, institutionalized, and delimited within its own discrete functional sphere. This article rethinks the putative rupture between Chinese Buddhism’s past and present incarnations. Through the prism of cinema, a technology that arrived on Chinese shores at the same moment as the Western concept of religion, I illuminate …

Analisis Penerapan Activity-Based Costing Tindakan Debridemen Bedah Pada Diagnosis Tunggal Di Kamar Operasi Rskd Duren Sawit Tahun 2022, Reynaldi Fattah Zakaria, Mardiati Nadjib

Jurnal Ekonomi Kesehatan Indonesia

In 2022, RSKD Duren Sawit has officially held operating room services. The demand for more comprehensive operating room services increased rapidly. The temporary operating room rates were set by adapting the rates of other regional hospitals and the Governor of DKI Jakarta's regulations. There is a huge difference in costs between the hospital rates and the INA-CBGs claim rates, especially for surgical debridement performed in the operating room. One of the factors causing the difference is the undetermined cost for debridement based on the unit cost component. Knowing the unit-cost debridement in the operating room according to the cost per …

Dr. Maggie Vinter: The Early Modern, Now

Discussions

Dr. Maggie Vinter has been the specialist in Early Modern (pre-1800) literature and Shakespeare at Case Western Reserve University’s English Department for the last eleven years. Prior to that, she received her doctorate degree at Johns Hopkins University in 2013. In 2019, she published Last Acts: The Art of Dying on the Early Modern Stage (Fordham University Press), where she explored not only the theatricality and farcicality of death in the theater of the 15th and 16th centuries, but in the act of death as a whole. In particular, this research is based upon the existence of “death books,” which …

Black Nationalism And Black Power’S Influence On Karamu House, I'Maya Gibbs

Discussions

This article will explore the impact of the Black Nationalist and Black Power Movement on Karamu House, the oldest Black theater in America. Karamu House, initially established as an integrated settlement house in 1915, later became an influential community theater in Cleveland, Ohio. By examining how an integrated theater shifted into prominently producing radical Black artistry, this article will uncover how Black Nationalism and Black Power changed the leadership, artistry, and goals of Karamu House. Furthermore, studying this shift highlights Black artists’ historical utilization of theater as a form of resistance against racial oppression and Karamu House’s participation in this …

‘In The Future We Will Make Our Own Superheroes’: Reflections On The Future Of Broadcast For Children Aged 7–11, Dylan Yamada-Rice

School of Art, Design and Architecture

Throughout 2022 and 2023, we worked with around 200 children to better understand the future of broadcast media for 7–11-year-olds in the UK. The work formed part of a wider Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) funded project known as XR Stories and housed at the University of York. The project reported on here, resulted in several key findings related to (1) multi-materiality, (2) materiality and making work slows with Ai, (3) interaction and (4) mashed-up brands. This sits alongside our production of immersive applications, which emerged from deploying machine learning as a collaborative approach to broadcast media content production …

Applying Student-Centered Strategies In The Applied Teaching Music Studio, Jeanne Goffi-Fynn

Visions of Research in Music Education

Applied studio instruction is a field of education set in the context of a one-to-one setting, traditionally seen as a master-apprentice model, where the “training of skills” is said to be a priority. However, as the field evolves and is influenced by other areas in teaching and learning, one begins to look for ways to apply student-centered or constructivist strategies to the music studio. In this article, we will look broadly at what it means to be student-centered in the music studio, breaking down the areas into five categories of rapport, motivation, critical thinking, content specific areas such as practice, …

Technology Use Within A Charlotte Mason Liberal Education: A Phenomenology Study On Critical Thinking, Luecrecy Ragan

Student Theses and Dissertations

Technology use, education technology, and innovations continue to grow in the 21st century. Information is abundant, and it can be challenging to process and decipher. Students are deficient in critical thinking and experience negative effects from the overuse of technology. Liberal education philosophy focuses on building critical thinking and educating the whole person. The purpose of this qualitative phenomenology study was to explore and describe the experiences of K-12 leaders and teachers implementing education technology while following a liberal education model focused on supporting critical thinking, cognitive ability, and the whole person. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with eight leaders and …

A Greater Distance Between The Readers And The Recounted Story In Salvatore Besso’S Travel Book: The Function Of The Picture Postcards, Panita Silapavithayadilok

Journal of Letters

This article analyses the scanned picture postcards in Salvatore Besso’s travel book with the aim to point out how they assume a crucial role in changing the main theme of the narrative on Siam in this book. From two main themes that run along together in the written narrative, exotism of Siamese culture and the recognition that Siam gained from Western nations, the scanned picture postcards lead the readers to focus particularly, if not only, on the first theme. This article seeks to shed more light to the significance of intermedial perspective in delving into subtle motives in cultural encounters. …

Reminiscences Of Papua New Guinea, Russell Blong

The Geographical Bulletin

Editor’s Note: While Dr. Blong’s previous article in this special issue outlines his more scholarly pursuits while in Papua New Guinea alongside a few very short anecdotal “field tales”, one of the items reviewers suggested was more depth and detail of those “field tales” he briefly touches on throughout the essay. Rather than tack-on these short happenings to the main article, and to address the reviewers’ desires, I asked Russell to compile a set of less academic field tales. The result is below, based on his many visits to PNG from 1970s-2000s, some of which he shared with Colin Pain …

Living In Grass Houses – Fieldwork In Papua New Guinea, Colin Pain

The Geographical Bulletin

I was raised on a farm so at an early age I was tending stock, building fences, and all the other things involved in running a farm. There is nothing like digging post holes along a new fence line to get you interested in soils. I was thus in the field long before I learnt about geography. Fieldwork is important for geographers for at least two reasons. First, it provides the basic spatial data for testing hypotheses, and is the basis for many of the data manipulations now allowed by remote sensing and geographic information systems. Second, at least in …

Instructor's Manual: Where's My Compass?, Steven Sparling

Journal of Arts Entrepreneurship Education

The performing arts is a perennially over-subscribed market with more performers than available jobs. The COVID-19 pandemic brought a previously constrained market to a standstill. For many students graduating from musical theatre and acting programs the lack of employment opportunities in performance was discouraging. The attached case studies examine the experience of three graduates and how they used skills adjacent to their performing skills to launch small business ventures. This Instructor’s Manual uses SWOT Analysis and the Ansoff Matrix as tools to assist students in analyzing the case studies (and as planning tools for their own entrepreneurial ventures). It also …

Towards A Mapping Of Empathic Design Methods, Luce Drouet, Froukje Sleeswijk Visser, Brian Pagán, Carine Lallemand

DRS Biennial Conference Series

Empathic design methods support designers in developing an empathic understanding of the people they design for. While researchers and designers use many of these methods, the literature falls short in providing an overview of these methods and what they contribute to the innovation process. We conducted two iterative workshops with 5 researchers in empathic design to define and map the properties of 10 selected empathic methods. By providing an overview, a mapping of empathic methods can support the deployment of empathic interventions. This mapping acts as a guiding tool to support designers in choosing the empathic methods that are the …
